Next year is going to be interesting for iPhone OS upgrades:

1. iPhone 2G and 3G will be past their supported period (2 years contract).
2. They will have 2 1st gen phones (arm11?) and 2 2nd gen phones (cortex a8 or above, which is powerful enough to multitask).

I think that's when they'll release their own multitasking flavor in the new OS and either: stop or split support for the older phones.
